DENVER—A Colorado state senator has apologized for suggestive remarks he made about the chairwoman of a legislative committee earlier this month.
Republican Sen. Shawn Mitchell of Broomfield said Friday his remarks about Democratic Sen. Morgan Carroll of Aurora were inappropriate and unprofessional.
Mitchell says he was trying to make a witness feel comfortable when he said that when he’s nervous about testifying before a committee, “I relieve that by imagining the chairwoman in her underwear.”
Carroll told Mitchell she accepted the apology.
